Clone git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git, add your firmware (and update the WHENCE file accordingly), and send me a pull request.

What is the issue here? We're working on _removing_ this crap from the kernel source tree -- not adding new instances of it. We have a separate repository in which we're collecting redistributable firmware images, and the distributions are moving towards shipping that instead of just the legacy stuff from the kernel tree. Add any new firmware to that repository instead, as described above. -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
